Kasha, Cabbage & Chorizo

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, sliced (as big as you like)
• 8 ounces green cabbage, sliced about 1/4 inch wide
• 1/2 cup kasha -- whole
• 1 - 2 chorizo links, or other smoky and/or spicy sausage
• 1 cup water, heated
• 2 ounces short twisted pasta
• salt, pepper

1. Heat the olive oil in a wide saucepan with a cover. Saute the onion until it starts to soften. Add the cabbage, stir until it starts to wilt. Then add the kasha, stirring to let it toast a bit.
2. Cut the sausage lengthwise, then in slices. Add to the pan, stirring to let all the flavors interact until it is fragrant.
3. Pour in the heated water, and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer 15 minutes, or until the kasha is cooked.
4. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, then drain. Gently combine the pasta with the kasha pot contents. Season with salt and (generously) fresh ground pepper.
5. NOTE: For a vegetarian version I use Tofurkey Chorizo; for gluten-free, Ancient Harvest Quinoa Garden Pagodas.
